Crystal Man (or Crystalman) is a Robot Master appearing in Mega Man 5. He is one of the Robot Masters ostensibly working for Proto Man in a bid for world domination, though like the others, he is later revealed to have been created by Dr. Wily.

Crystal Man is a blue or green robot with spherical crystals set in his helmet, torso and joints. His Crystal Eye weapons lets him create similar crystals as projectiles, which reflect off walls.

In the Games

Mega Man 5

Boss sprite from Mega Man 5.

In Mega Man 5, Crystal Man is one of the main eight Robot Master bosses and appears as the third choice (in reading order) on the stage select screen. His stage is set in and around a network of mysterious crystal caverns.

In battle, Crystal Man jumps frequently and will only attack from the air, by stopping in midair at the peak of a tall jump. He may either fire a single projectile at Mega Man or create four small crystal spheres, which are launched at four diagonals and reflect off the walls, floor and ceiling before eventually disappearing.

Crystal Man's weakness is the Gyro Attack from Gyro Man, which deals 4 damage to him and can reach him easily in the air by redirecting it upwards. Defeating him grants Mega Man the Crystal Eye.

Trivia

• Crystal Man's colours vary to an unusual degree between depictions, with his original sprite showing him as green, but his production art picking a much bluer tint for him. Other depictions either follow the production art's colours or opt for something in-between.
